Brandon Mihalich Participates in Academic Excellence Celebration

2016 Apr 26

Brandon Mihalich will take part in McKendree University's Academic Excellence Celebration, a showcase of students' scholarly and creative work on April 28 at the Lebanon, Illinois campus. Brandon will discuss his senior honors thesis, "Comparison of Extracellular Cellulase Activity from Trichoderma reesei and Bacillus subtilis for Potential Use in Biofuel Production"; and present a grant proposal on the effect of prairie restoration on white-tailed jackrabbit populations in Yellowstone National Park. Classes will not be held so that students, faculty, staff and guests may attend presentations of capstone projects and research posters, musical performances and an art gallery exhibit. Honor society inductions also will be held.
